Hi Guys, I just decided to pick up a Sakura SE by OneDrop. I thought I should try it because fits my likings. I’ve never used the Sakura by ILYY, so I don’t really know what to expect. What do you guys think about the Sakura SE? Just post your thoughts on it below, let me know if you happened to pick one up yourself! ---

Keep in mind this isn’t just a One Drop yo-yo, it is a true collaboration between the two companies. That being said, the Sakura was one of my all time favorite ILYY designs. The Sakura SE takes that design to the next level. Smooth play, ability to augment the feel and play with different Side Effects, a grind friendly surface… this thing is amazing. I have been throwing the heck out of it for the up coming High Speed YoYo review. Hopefully the Sakura will now get the love it deserves. ---

Do the other OD side effects fit the Sakura SE? Based off of how it looks, I thought these SE’s were smaller than the spikes, domes, ultralights, dietz or lego side effects. ---

Would have also likes a Cobalt. I have played it with spikes, ultra lights, and stunt pegs… all aluminum. I like it best with the stock Side Effects. > [@MikeEff](#): > > Do the other OD side effects fit the Sakura SE? Based off of how it looks, I thought these SE’s were smaller than the spikes, domes, ultralights, dietz or lego side effects. The great thing about Side Effects are that they are standard across the board. If a yoyo is advertised as “Side Effect Compatible” then it can use ANY set of Side Effects on the market. > [@Yonut](#): > > Bearing size? Comes stock with a C-Size One Drop 10-Ball ---

> [@MikeEff](#): > > Awesome! Just what I wanted to know. ;D Yeah, what you are seeing in the pics on One Drop’s page is just some crazy reflections. The Sakura Side Effects are super shiny. It is just like the picture in my signature. That is a close up of standard aluminum domes in a 54 but they look smaller because of the reflections on the side. Honestly I have tried it with almost every type of Spode Effect on the market. If I were playing it with something other than the stock Side Effects it would be one of the sets I listed above. ---
